The analysis of scientific research confirms that the modern head of the orchestral team in the process of creative activity for interaction with orchestras has to apply skills of communicative culture, which are inherently specific to some extent.

It is these key elements that provide a professional combination of various educational disciplines (in directions of music theory, psychology, pedagogy, or conductor and orchestral), contribute to the development of knowledge, and creative thinking of future conductors, and also contribute to the development of their professional self-awareness, which in turn stimulates the development of motivation to the conductor’s profession and the development of his professional qualities.
